Flexible Plastic Plexiwire FLEX for 3D Printing
Flexible plastic Plexiwire FLEX in a spool weighing 0.6 kg (length 200 m) – for 3D printing, mainly with direct plastic feed.
Properties of FLEX
Plexiwire FLEX is a flexible and resistant to bending, stretching, and abrasion material with excellent adhesion and low shrinkage. The material is resistant to oils, greases, and solvents. It operates in a temperature range from -40 to +70°C, and products can stretch 2-3 times while retaining their properties.
Applications of Plexiwire FLEX
The abrasion-resistant and bend-resistant Plexiwire FLEX filament is designed for 3D printing: flexible and protective elements for machine and mechanism components, seals and other types of sealing elements, toys, jewelry, footwear and clothing elements, automotive parts, keychains, damping and vibration protection elements, realistic prototypes of rubber products – any products that require flexibility.
Printing Recommendations
- Since FLEX is a flexible 3D plastic, it is recommended to print with Direct feed printers, although successful printing is possible on some Bowden printers.
- Set a low printing speed – slightly over 30 mm/s.
- The FLEX filament easily deforms in the nozzle – follow the temperature and speed recommendations, carefully adapting them to your results.
- Residues of old filaments of other types inside the nozzle can significantly complicate the process – we recommend using a separate nozzle for FLEX.
- FLEX is hygroscopic – it is important to follow safe storage conditions.
- Ensure free movement of the filament during printing without any resistance, so the feed mechanism does not exert force and start "pulling" the material, which can cause stretching or bending.
